Its about time, cheaper in the long run, and repairs can be made without starting over,hard to repair steel blocks

Does that mean ASCS will switch too? Maybe by 2016?

Why I carried a magnet w/ me when I was tech insp, magnet sticks to steel but not alum or titanium

[treecitytornado]

Heard some of the ASCS teams use a high dollar coating to treat their aluminum block, so a magnet sticks. Anyone hear about that?

If an official can't tell the difference by eye, he needs another line of work.

I recall hanging around a building in Sun Prairie, away from Angell Park, while Doug Caruthers' VW was torn down by USAC after a Tommy Astone victory! A late Sunday night (before Interstate 39 cut a half hour or more off the trip) for a guy from Danvers, IL who was supposed to be at work at Caterpillar in Morton, IL at 7:30 AM Monday.
